Part 2/8:
Princess Diana’s 1997 visit to Angola catapulted the issue of landmine elimination into international prominence. Her efforts led to increased global awareness and spurred initiatives to rid countries of these deadly devices. Tragically, Diana did not live to see the full fruits of her work, passing away just months after her Angola visit.
For Harry, this mission serves as a poignant tribute to his mother’s pioneering advocacy. His own visits to Angola, including one in 2019 where he recreated iconic scenes of Diana walking through minefields, exemplify his ongoing dedication. The trip not only highlights his environmental and humanitarian concern but also emphasizes how deeply rooted his connection to Diana’s efforts remains.
